COLLAR BUTTON AND NEQKTIE HOLDER.

Application filed June 8, 1921, Serial No. 475,917. Renewed October 22, .1923.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SALVADOR AGUILAR SULEoIo,a citizen of Guatemala, residing at San Francisco, in the county of San Francisco, State of California, have invented a new and useful Collar Button and Necktie Holder, of which the following is a specification, in such full and clear terms as will enable those skilled in the art to construct and use the same.

This invention relates to a collar button and necktie holder and its object is to produce a device upon which a necktie may be formed into a knot and which will permit the tie to'remain tied and be placed in position for use and removed therefrom at will without having to repeatedly form the knot thereby extending the wear on the tie.

Another object of the invention is to produce a frame for forming the tie which will be sufficiently rigid to permit the knot to be nicely and tightly tied thereon without bending the frame out of the shape it should occupy to hold the knot in the proper form.

Another object of the invention is to provide the holder with means for connecting it to the collar in such a manner as to prevent it from dropping the necktie and which means is capable of being used either with the form of collarbutton especially adapted to it or with the ordinary form of collar button having a round head with a round shank such as collar buttons that are in common use.

Another object of the invention is to produce a device for holding the collar end tabs together in such a manner as to more effec tually secure the necktie holder in place and to hold the ends of the collar more neatly together than would be the case where the necktie and this holder is applied to the collar without some means of holding the collar ends under the tie.

- Another object of the invention is to provide a different shaped holder which can be used with very small neckties when necessary and which holder is substantially the same in construction as the larger holder.

An object of the tie holder is to enable the tie to be used without being tied and untied every time it is to be put on or taken off.

Another object of the invention is to provide a small sized tie holder which can be used in conjunction with small bow ties in a similar way to the larger holder.

Another object of the invention is to produce a collar which will have forwardly projecting wings which, will give it an en tirely different appearance not obtained in the ordinary forms of collars.

Another object is to produce a collar will ap- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a collar having a necktie tied on one of the forms illustrated herein secured thereto.

Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the frame.

Fig. 3 is an edge view of the frame. Fig. 4: is a plan view, and Fig. 5 is an end view of the Fig. 6 shows the collar button in Figs. 4 and 5 as it appearsin use.

Fig. 7 is a modified form of the holder with the holding arms extending straight outwardly instead ofbeing curved around as illustrated in Fig. 2. r p Fig. 8 is an edge view of. the holder shown in Fig. 7.

Fig. 9 is a perspectiveview of a clamp used for securing the end tabs of the collar together.

Figs. 10 and 11 are front elevation and side elevation respectively of a slightlymodified form of the invention in which the frame is made very small for; the purpose of using a very small, tie, and

Fig. 12 is a perspective view of the necktie holding frame as it appears when connected with the loop atthe front of the collar button shown .inFigures 4 and 5.

The collar used is an ordinary form of turned-down collar illustrated at Figure 1 but which inthis case has ou't turned flaps 2' and 3. The necktie holding frame consists of a single piece of wire twisted upon itself as indicated at 4 to produce a trans verse bar, the ends of the wire being curved outwardly and upwardly as indicatedat 5 and'6 to be inserted between the inner .and outer layers of the collar.

The middle of the wire has its sides 7 and 8 extending downwardly from the twisted portion 4 toward each other and at its cencollar button especially adapted for use with this holder.-

too

ter it *is pointed upwardly and backwardly to form the hook shown at 9as well as to form the open ring like portion 10 shown in Figure 2.;

The necktie 11 is tied over the frame to form a well designed knot with the hook 9 exposed and when so formed the tie remains in that shape until-worn out or discolored.

It is in-use pushed "up' with the horns andfi between the layers of the'collar and with the hook 9 either hooked into the outer loop 12 of the collar button 13 or with the ring pushed ov'er'the shank of an ordinary-collar button. The collar button 13' consistsof a single length of'wire wound to have an hexangular base portion 15 while from said base portion the'remaining part of the wire is extended therefrom and reversely-bent to provide a plurality of short open-loops 16. This collar button is then inserted in the collar in the manner illustrated in-Figure" 6 and it "has openings for both of the shirt thicknesses, both of the collar thicknesses and a loop 12 for the hook 9. If-the frame is used without the special button arrangement shown in Figure 4, the

i frame is pushed up under the collar in pre cisely*the same manner but'the loop 10 is pushed over the shank of an ordinary collar button and will firmly hold it in place.

win-the form or the invention shown in I Figures 7 and 8 the wire is bent in substantially the same way as in the other two figures except that after bein twisted around eachother the ends '17 and 18 extend outwardly and upwardly from the remaining portion of the frame The remainder of the frame isprecisely thesame as "the frame shown in the previous form ofthe invention and consists of two parts 19 and 20 which incline downwardly toward each other and which have the loop 21 for connecting the frame to'the ordinary form of collar button, no other form of device being necessary.

' This form also has a hook at'22' the same as" the hook 9v to enable'it' to be applied to the form of collar button shown in Figure 4 if that is desired. Sometimes it may happen thatthe ends of tliecollar do not stand close enough together, by applying the clamp shown in Figure 9 to the ends of the collarcorners the collar ends will be held close together. This clamp consists of a singlepiece of wire bentinto two U-shaped forms 25,26 and connected together with two' transverse bars at the top'. This clamp is usable only where the collar ends stand figures except that it is made upon a much with fourv projecting horns 31 to 3 1 inclusive. It is also provided with a hook and loop 35-which enables it to be fastened to the collar button'shown in Figure 4 or to be fastened to the ordinary form of collar "button with round head. 7

The collar button used in conjunction with this necktie holder is made of a'single piece of wire and whileit has no head at the same time its special crimpedform: presents vfive receptacles or places in which shirtband and collar band may be held while at the same time it has a loop for the hook on the'necktie holder. i

It will be understood that most" persons wear shirts that open in front so that there are two thicknesses of shirt band as well as two thicknesses of collar band to be pro 1. A wearing apparel apparatus comprising a frame for forming a necktie knot, said frame having a hook at one end and a pair of laterally projecting arms at the other end, and a collar button having an open slot to receive the hook on the frame.

2. An apparatus of the class described comprising a triangular shaped frame having a hook at one apex of the triangle and having projecting arms at each other apex, and a button having a slot therein to .cooperate with the hook to holdthe necktie in place on the collar.

3. An apparatus of the class described comprising a necktie frame having a pair of arms to engage a collar at one end, and having a double hook at the other end with a retaining button having a loop to engage one of said hooks and having other open loops to engage and hold the several parts of the shirt and collar;

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my handthis 28 day of May,A. D. 1921.
